Great Experience

5.00What a pleasant surprise to have done this Tour, it really is a very good Tour, although it is a bit extensive in time (we left 4:30 am and arrived 11:00 pm), but many fabulous things are done, the Ballestas Islands and its spectacular Fauna, then tasting of Psico and ending in the dunes of Huacachina where the Buggis are an extreme adventure, boarding down the dunes and ending with sunset in the desert is spectacular... I highly recommend the plan and more if it is up to them with the Oswaldo Guide, he is a great person, very funny and always worried that we enjoy the Tour very much... 5 stars for him too.
Good trip overall

5.00This was a fully packed day with loads included, and so much fun. We did a lot in one very long day (4am to 11pm) making it great value for money. Our guide Oswaldo was hilariously wacky, but efficient and well organised - he kept us to schedule, and was prepared for almost everything (hand sanitiser, phone cables, toilet roll.......) The boat trip was great, we saw loads of different birds and so many sealions, but sadly no penguins (maybe they'd gone fishing). We wimped out of the sand boarding (it wasn't compulsory) but it was fun to watch others do it.
full day tour with islas paracas, pisco tour and huacachina

5.00Excellent tour accompanied by Oswaldo. He never lacked energy and answered all our questions. He took us to a small sewing and silver workshop, waiting for the bus after the islands, which still used very interesting ancestral techniques. There's a lot of road ahead so be aware.
An absolutely unforgettable experience!

5.00An absolutely excellent experience and the best full-day that can be done from Lima. The tour is perfectly designed to combine nature, culture and pure adventure. The logistics were impeccable, from pick-up in Lima to return. Despite being a long day, the bus was comfortable and the itinerary was very well organized, allowing to enjoy without hurry
Best Trip Ever

5.00It was a LONG DAY trip, 3am - 1am, but it was worth every penny. From seeing sea lions, to wine tasting, to sand dunes, to an oasis. It was a great way to end my time in Perú.
You have to get up early but it is worth it because it lasts a whole day and because I knew more about Peruvian culture c

Paracas and Huacachina, an experience that goes from adrenaline to romanticism offered by Peru!

5.00The tour is very complete, offers an experience with the marine richness of Ballestas, you can taste Peruvian gastronomy and taste the best spirits that prepare you to live a great adventure in Huacachina then close with a beautiful and romantic sunset, definitely something that you will not experience with another agency. The best Smart Hosters, they are always concerned about your comfort and offer a fair price with the best quality, something not to lose when visiting Peru.
